How to prevent lost cattle using inexpensive LoRaWAN ear tags
summary
LoRaWAN ear tags get GPS coordinates every two hours and send them over The Things Network to a farm app that shows last-known positions, movement patterns and jumped-fence alerts. A U.S. case study on Greg Adams (5,000 acres) uses three antennas to cover the property, adds water monitors that report every 50 or 10 minutes and claims a 50% increase in cattle handled and about $10k/yr saved by recovering 8–10 missing heads at $1,200–$1,400 each. Roadmap includes asset trackers, rain gauges, gate sensors and electric-fence and silo-level monitoring.
